Question 14. QUESTION 14COVID-19 has been shown to effect hemoglobin's ability to bind and transport oxygen effectively. As a result, tissues become oxygen starved and stopworking, ultimately leading to death. When hemoglobin (a tetramer with four polypeptide chains) binds oxygen, the four polypeptide chains shift aroundslightly to accommodate the oxygen. If this doesn't occur in some COVID-19 patients, we can say the virus most likely affects thestructure ofhemoglobin.OA. tertiaryB. quaternaryC. primaryD. secondary

Hemoglobin is an oxygen transport protein present in the RBCs. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the…

QUESTION NO. 1L-Carnitine is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in the kidneys and then transported to other tissues. It is most concentrated in tissues that use fatty acids as their primary fuel, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this regard, L-carnitine plays an important role in energy production by conjugating to fatty acids for transport from the cytosol into the mitochondria. L-carnitine shuttle is an example of A. ion driven active transport B. facilitated diffusion C. simple diffusion D. ATP driven active transportE. symport F. antiportQUESTION NO.2 Statements: (1) Glucose is both a hexose and a aldose. (2) There can never be more than three enantiomers for a molecule. (3) All common disaccharides have beta-one-four linkages. Which statements are true?
QUESTION NO. 1 Cystic fibrosis is a frequent generic disease of Caucasians. The CF gene codes for a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) which functions as a cAMP-regulated chloride channel. The protein has two membrane-spanning domains, two domains that interact with ATP, and one regulatory domain. The most common defect is in the gene for one of the ATP binding domains. The result is a protein that does not fold correctly in the endoplasmic reticulum, is not properly glycosylated, and is nor transported to the cell surface. Rather, it is degraded in the cytosol within proteasomes. Drugs that foster chaperone interaction with the mutant protein are a potential therapeutic approach. Chaperones A. are always required to direct the folding of proteins. B. when bound to protein increase the rate of protein degradation. C. usually bind to strongly hydrophilic regions of unfolded proteins. D. sometimes maintain proteins in an…

Question 16: One of the two genes known to be mutated in cases of Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern but known to affect males more often than females) is the calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 S (CACNA1S). What is known about the gene is recorded here: https://www.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/Gene/Summary?db=core;g=ENSG00000081248;r=1:201039512-201112451 Please navigate to the link above and use the information and link-outs from the page to answer the following question. GIVE YOUR ANSWER AS A NUMBER ONLY, NO UNITS: What is the size in amino acid residues of the CACNA1S transcript named CACNA1S-202?
Question 11. // Hint: Isoelectric focusing separates proteins based on their pI values, and can separate proteins that only differ by a net charge of ±1.±1. Recall that an amino acid residue with a negatively charged R group has a relatively low isoelectric point (pI) where it has zero net charge. Likewise, an amino acid residue with a positively charged R group has a relatively high isoelectric point (pI) where it has zero net charge. Order from Low pH to High pH
